Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a newborn requiring a life-saving blood transfusion. The parents are practicing Jehovah's Witnesses and refuse the transfusion. Who would the nurse consult for assistance in this situation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ethics committee. Consulting the ethics committee is appropriate in this situation to address the conflict between the parents' religious beliefs and the newborn's need for a life-saving blood transfusion. The ethics committee can provide guidance on navigating the ethical dilemmas involved, considering the best interest of the newborn while respecting the parents' beliefs.
Choice A (The family priest) may not have the expertise to navigate the ethical complexities of the situation.
Choice C (Joint Commission) focuses on accreditation standards, not specific patient care dilemmas.
Choice D (The blood bank) is not the appropriate entity to resolve the ethical conflict.
